This supports the development of new therapies for epilepsy, including medicines, biologics or devices. The programme also encourages one-to-one matching grants to academic and commercial entities to support the commercialisation of novel approaches to the treatment of epilepsy. Areas of interest include:
- novel approaches to treatment;
- platform technology to advance screening techniques that can be utilised by multiple laboratories, including utility of techniques for early proof-of-concept trials;
- adaptation of treatment in development for another therapeutic area to assess utility for epilepsy.
Please note: Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss their proposals with Adelaide Enterprise in terms of potential commercial partners or commercialisation path.

Grants are worth up to USD $350,000 (approx AUD $484,000) for one to two years.
